Welcome to my website, I teach anatomy classes and bodywork courses to bring awareness to the broad spectrum of people who wish to learn more about the horse’s body, and the wellbeing of horses.
On this website you can find a variety of resources; books, online classes and videos to help you with your journey as a horse owner or bodyworker.
New online Equine Anatomy Courses now available!
The Equine Anatomy in Layers
This class will allow you to look under the horse’s skin and observe the unique architecture of the body.
Layer by layer we will uncover the soft tissue, the fascia, muscles with their origins and insertions, and also we will explore the abdominal cavity as it is important for many professionals as well.

Being a veterinarian, bodyworker and anatomist gives me a different view and solid understanding of the structure of the horse’s body, as well as how that structure can (or cannot) function during specific tasks that we humans ask of it.
I am also an advocate for the holistic approach. Whether one is a saddle fitter, rider, trainer, dentist, trimmer/farrier, or otherwise, I believe we can all agree that the horse is a complex, unique being whose structure requires us to understand its physiology and anatomy before we start to interfere with its genius Natural design.
I love to bring this information to others, to educate, provoke thought, and create curiosity in all those who care about horses, so they can make informed decisions, based on knowledge (not because “we have been doing this for the last 100 years”…).
I hope you will find something interesting here.

Changing Times
As the world begins to turn again post Covid, I am finally able to return to global travel and the teaching I love. Returning to U.K., America, Czech, New Zealand to teach Equine Touch, Dissection Clinics and more. Visit the main Equine Touch websites (links in the footer at the bottom of the page) to see when and where I will be teaching.
Hope to see all your lovely faces in person again soon!
